It's very much a diamond in the rough. Very nicely recorded and played for the most part, in a mid-fi Pollard kind of way. Polished yet also spontaneous and intimate feeling. What Am I is hilarious and bizarre. They Called Him So Much almost had me in tears thinking back on it 10 years ago. The rest is just as solid as Pollard gets. If anything, I reckon this album signals the new renaissance era of GBV which came with Gillard's return. Kind of like a primer for great things to come.James Kohlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18084582758523988903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1296276308922609437.post-52471568261088235642020-02-23T20:15:25.845-08:002020-02-23T20:15:25.845-08:00Yeah...
